Hope you’ve been doing your liver stretches, friends. Monday, November 12th is going to be a busy night if you plan on checking out the great events that are happening around town. And whether you only go to The Famous for its fundraiser, or you’ve got the stamina to handle stops at Harvard & Stone and Eveleigh, be sure to monitor your imbibing and call a cab if need be. The holidays are just around the corner and there’s plenty of celebrating yet to come. Cheers!

In recent weeks, the service industry has stepped up in a big way to help its own, from MurrayAid fundraising events to ongoing efforts to help those affected by Superstorm Sandy. On Monday, November 12th, The Famous is hosting an event to raise funds for Antonia Becerra, an 81-year-old waitress at Taix who lost her life savings to scam artists. Becerra, a Glendale resident who has worked at Taix for 44 years, was conned out of at least $40,000 and may have lost as much as $65,000, according to a Glendale News-Press article. The Famous, which opened in Glendale’s historic Huntley-Evans building in September, is donating a portion of its bar sales to Becerra during the event. There will also be a silent auction, which includes a baseball signed by former Dodgers catcher Russell Martin, spirits, and a date with one of The Famous bartenders. To contribute an item to the silent auction, call general manager Luke Leonard at The Famous.
The Glendale Police Officers’ Association has set up a fund for Becerra. To donate, please visit glendalepoa.com/about/benevolence/donate-to-the-gpoa and select “Help Antonia Becerra.”
